For your 2017 Chevy Silverado 1500 4x4, I recommend the Timbren Rear Suspension Enhancement System # TGMRCK15S. The 8600 lb rating is for just the spring's ability and they will not be used to that extent on your vehicle as other parts would fail first. You won't have that much weight on your bumper or in your bed when towing the 12K max as the trailer axles will carry much of that load.

These springs will compress more as more weight is added and will become more rigid as they compress. They will act as shock absorbers taking the brunt when your truck is under heavy load to assist your factory suspension. Let me know if you have further questions, but these will be a great fit for your vehicle and your travel trailer.
